| Summary: | Recently a very hot debate is going on among the teachers of English at Turkish State High Schools. They are discussing the reasons for the failure o f having an efficient English language teaching in these schools despite a six-year-long education. After having studied English for six years at the secondary and high schools, the majority of high school graduates, except very few rare cases, are far from uttering a few words in English, let alone communicate with foreigners when needed. Although these teachers from time to time complain about the low level of motivation students have, they mostly diagnose the method, which has been applied in these state schools since 1970, as the fırst and the most important barrier in their teaching. |
